The foundation carries out its activities in the territory of the Republic and Canton of Jura, with the primary aim of providing financial support to students who are in need and do not have close relatives who can support them, in order to enable them to complete their education within the normal timeframe. The foundation's support is subsidiary to other public or private aid; subsidiarily, if the primary aim can no longer be achieved, the foundation provides support for the education of young people up to the age of 30 in general. The foundation has a public utility character and does not pursue any profit-making purpose.
